WHY ARE YOU SO BORING?

 

"We were thinking about what to call the game, and thought about adding the word 'U' to the title."

 

Yes.

 

I strongly dislike the Miis and will never understand Nintendo's obsession with them.

OK admitedly that gameplay looked like a lot of fun! :D

 

The co-op Game Pad controls added ALOT to the enjoyment of that, helping one another out.

Not really sure why the platforms you add in are wierdly coloured chess suit platforms?

Nostalgia Moment:

Also, anyone miss the days when coloured Yoshi's had their own individuality/it meant something?

 

Blue could fly, Red breathed fire, Yellow kicked up a sandstorm and Green was your old faithful. It gave them more personality and they felt special. Now the majority of the time they're just any old colour and all the same.

 

Good to see a pink/purple Yoshi here being baloon Yoshi.

Don't use 'em then. ::shrug:

Or does the fact that they're an optional extra bother you just the same? :heh:

It's really hard to ignore them when Nintendo insists on shoving them into every other game.

 

Can't even enjoy a game of Mario Kart Wii without seeing Miis everywhere. :p

 

I wouldn't be surprised if soon we saw a Zelda where "for the first time, you are Link!" That would save them the trouble of having to model a bunch of HD characters, too.

I got to say, that Van Gogh style in the background was absolutely stunning stuff!

 

Good-Feel should do an entire game in that style or something.

Or they could've Van Gogh-a-fied the New Mario game instead of slapping 'NEW' and 'U' on it.

So watched some gameplay footage and I think it looks good.

 

I understand a bit why NSMW wasn't liked as much, but I enjoyed the DS one. The series doesn't seem to be liked much. My biggest complaint about the new ones is that there is 2 new NSMB games coming out and possibly quite close to each other.

I agree, Ike. Nintendo really would be bonkers not to make one of these for each machine.

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm very annoyed Yellow Toad and Blue Toad are back, again with no differing personality or even proper names. Would it have killed them to bring back SMB2's character roster?

 

OR, make the Toads characters from Mario Galaxy's Toad Brigade... with little names and differences other than the characters.

 

OR Toad and Toadette. Perfect!

 

I just... I really can't stand those two Toads. :P

I really hope the visuals are only finished for world 1, the background looks fantastic there and shockingly Nintendo actually bothered to mix up the art style a tad with it. The rest of the worlds (that spooky level apart), look totally devoid of any creativity or interest.

It's clear to see that despite a few grumbles NSMB is very popular. The series has sold around 56 million units across 2 titles.

 

Nintendo are launching a new console, they're going all out to launch it with the most commercially successful titles they can.

 

On home consoles we've only had a single 2D Mario game since the SNES, I love 2D Mario games, I'll be getting this at launch!
